We're 40* this morning, drizzly, and going to 49* but our afternoon will be dry. So, silver lining.
Yesterday I did some cleaning in our messy office and in the quilting room where the LA lives. Things seem to get out of hand quickly. I think the hardest part is figuring out where to store all my quilts! I try to use/display as many as I can in the house and trailer and rotate them frequently, but still - I have maybe 75 quilts in the rotation. lol! People say walking into my house is almost like walking into a quilt show! They use the words "warm" and "cozy" a lot. Oh wait. Maybe it's me that uses those words. I forget.
I did get my crazy quilt almost, not quite, halfway quilted. I may finish it today. I have the label and 440" of binding already made so after toting this project around the country for about 4 years, it could be finished and on our bed by the weekend! Mary Q says my March lotto winnings are in the mail - and might even be in our mail box at the UPS Store by now - so that's next up. I keep hoping QIAD will send my OWL pattern one day soon, but if they don't, it's back to making shirts for me, I guess. I only have about 5-1/2 months to get my Christmas shirts finished. And have two to make.
I think it was a rough first night home for our little Texas family. But then, first night's home are usually rough ones if I remember correctly. Especially with first babies. Autumn has always been a big fan of sleeping and of not being in pain. Since she can't take pain pills and Kumquat was probably awake a lot . . . I'm guessing everyone is pretty tired. Thank God Antonio is very hands on, helping both Kumquat and Aut and handling the house. Their friends have organized a meal train for next few weeks so they should be OK there.
JANA - One has to wonder - if Daniel doesn't have a house of his own yet, but he's emptying his storage unit, where is all the stuff going?? On some of those neat shelves he built in your garage? I can't believe Lila is already going to be 5 yrs old! Time is getting away from me. You are running low on babies to smooch!
CAROL - congrats on getting that TW together! I love that pattern. I might make another one some day. I gave mine away. Didn't see BC's 30 ways to use up leftover ham though I have a whole ham section in my recipe box. I only cooked half of our ham so there was only enough left for a few sandwiches for lunches. I promised to save the other half ham for when my sis and dbil arrive next month.
No cooking for me tonite. Well, I'll make a salad but our grandsons are coming over tonite and they've requested pizza. I could make pizzas, but I think Papa John's has sale prices on Tuesdays so we're going to look over their on-line menu and maybe go that way. By the time I pay for all the ingredients and toppings to make them, I've spent more than the pizza costs.
What's the plan at your house?
